Deep Silver to Publish RISEN for Xbox 360 in North America

Deep Silver announced today that
RISEN will be published for the Xbox 360. RISEN features an epic story with over
60 hours of exploration and adventuring.

RISEN is a massive, open-world RPG
where every decision counts and every action continuously shapes a player’s
reputation. In a medieval setting, the game begins with the player shipwrecked
on an island in turmoil, rocked by mysterious ruins rising from the ground.
Players will battle dangerous creatures yet the promise of ancient treasures
will lead them on an adventure where they must choose to align with either the
native Rebel faction, or the mysterious Order and its Inquisition. Only then
will they determine just what is truly happening on the “forbidden isle.”

“We’re incredibly excited about
RISEN and the opportunity to publish it in North America,” said Geoff Mulligan,
Chief Operating Officer at Deep Silver. “What we bring to market is a deep,
immersive RPG that Xbox 360 gamers have been clamoring for. RISEN is going to
start off this year for RPGs in an amazing way.”

RISEN features a seamless streaming
environment that players can explore however they choose, using intuitive
controls designed to make exploration and combat easily accessible to both RPG
fans and newcomers alike. The game’s central story can be experienced in
different ways, depending on the in-game decisions players make.

RISEN is being developed by Piranha
Bytes and scheduled for release in February 2010. For more information visit
